Speed Up Your Affiliate Sites

One of the pitfalls of building websites full of affiliate product listings is the website load time. What is the latest recommended load time? Five or ten seconds to keep your visitor? They’re impatient you know! I know I am when surfing.
That timeline goal is not gonna happen when the page has to load product [...]

Bad Habits Hard To Break?

Last week I talked about cutting time wasters and so far so good on my end. But I did something sneaky for myself just to make sure and kick away that evil gremlin beckoning me to goof off:
For those bad habit daily haunts–I added the domains to my router’s banned domain list (look under parent [...]

Running Out Of Server Space?

I had a shock the other day when I received notice from one of my webhosts that I was using over 80% of my server space and that I needed to look at removing some files or upgrading my hosting package to accommodate my server needs.
I had a hard time believing that I was using [...]

Staying The Course When You’re Not Inspired

One of the things I completed the Big Productive Night I mentioned in yesterday’s post was going through a 50+ page aff site checking each and every link, coupon and yada yada.
I was so disappointed in myself when I saw how many of those links were pointing to “Item Sold Out” pages or redirects [...]

Cutting Time Wasters

The other night I just wasn’t in ‘the mood’ to do any work online. But this week I’m limited with the amount of energy I can put into my websites because offline will be hogging most of my time. The 24 hour limit to a day, plus necessary sleep time–really can interfere with a person’s [...]

Useful File Utilities - Product Review

I purchased Useful File Utilities awhile ago to see what I could do with all those affiliate product codes when hand building product pages. I like to customize the code a bit to fit better with my site designs.

Great Blog To Pick Up

I’m just doing *a bit* of reading tonight before I dive back into my pile of work that I want to finish up tonight and I can’t help but point out the V7N Search Marketing News blog. Color me outta the loop…but I don’t know who Peter Da Vanzo is. Is he part of V7N? [...]

Enjoy!

HTML Entities On The Fly

Now this is neat:
HTML Entities On the Fly
Copy the code, save it as a .html file on your computer and then launch it whenever you need to grab html entities. Type the character you want, click generate and voila! The character entity reference is generated for you lickity split.

The Hosting Shuffle

I’m in the midst of shuffling some sites around to new hosts and adding a few pages on new domains. I’m kick starting the aging process for some and others I’m getting pages up on expired domain purchases–I want to see what’s happening with those.
Although this may seem off-track from my Focus on small [...]
